Hurricane Katrina - 2005

In anticipation of Hurricane Katrina’s impacts on the western most portions of the state of Florida, the Florida Department of Transportation contracted with JBCCI for all counties in District 3 for cut and toss activities.  The Department of Transportation became concerned with the size and fury of Katrina primarily due the prior impacts of Hurricanes Ivan and Dennis on Florida’s west coast.  Accordingly, JBCCI was directed to pre-position its crews.  JBCCI pre-positioned 30 crews in a matter of 12 hours in various Florida counties.  Fortunately for the state of Florida, Katrina did not create any significant impacts and JBCCI was only compensated for pre-positioning its crews.  Prime Contractor - Eddie Greene, VP Operations – Flo Ann Sullivan, Contract Administrator
